Abstract
The article deals with the phenomenon of Islamic radicalism in Pakistan. Among the issues discussed are the anti-Ahmadi movement, the Islamization of the Zia-ul-Haque era, the Sunni- Shiite clashes and the emergence and consolidation of militant and terrorist groups. External factors, primarily the war in Afghanistan, the Taliban rule there and the uprising in the Indian Kashmir valley, are taken into account.The author divides the history of the contemporary Islamic Radicalism into four periods: 1977-1999; 1999-2006; 2006-2010, and2010-2015. He concludes that while during the first and third phases the Radicalism experienced an upward trend, it was declining in between. This does not preclude the present downward phase from changing in the future due to a combination of internal and external factors.
